Lazerback and Twinstrike had the same symbol before it got changed on the final product. That was the prototype for the Predacon symbol earlier in the production.

Oh yes!! And Hasbro comes out of nowhere with a knockout blow! Smokescreen looks fantastic whether or not he can be de-beasted. It'll require a bit of work and a bit of paint, but it has to be do-able. I'll be getting two of this guy. I knew it'd be worth holding off on AM Smokey. Thanks Hasbro.

Then again, I suppose Takara could still do something better with it.

Bulkhead's not too bad either, but a deluxe sized version of the big guy is a 'no-no' for me. If he gets an upgrade in the show then hopefully a 3rd party will provide said upgrades as a set.

Thanks to ACToys we get a closer look at Transformers Prime "Beast Hunters" Deluxe Wave 2's Smokescreen. This set of images give us a clear look at the figure's head sculpt and Shadow Quill Armor, which appears to be removable. It looks like Smokescreen fans may finally be getting the figure they've been craving since he made his debut last season. Images mirrored below.

There's quite a few things on him that a little paint won't fix. I'm still not completely sold on the idea that his armor is removable. I suspect, at least for vehicle mode, that it won't work without it. I don't think there's a front end of a car hiding somewhere under that blue armor.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I am that which is, which was, and is yet to come.

And you will know my name is MEGATRON when I lay my vengeance upon you!

Welp, I'm sold. I know it's a fake chest and all, but i prefer that to making them less accurate to the show (wish they did that with Knockout). I also look forward to Reprolabels adding a little color to this guy. He looks really spot on other wise

It looks like the hood of his car form folds up onto his forearms.

I dunno what you guys are all complaining about, I like the look of this figure, and the fact that he's got removable armor and no crazy ass spikes everywhere.

The door decals aren't spot on, and some of the paint apps are bad, but that sculpt is incredible. Nothing a little paint & Reprolabels can't fix. Muahahhaha.

Now, I'll quote a fellow Seibertronian so I don't have to say it myself.

You can. They wouldn't give it a name and list it as an accessory if you couldn't.

grimdragon2001 wrote:hmmmm I wonder if we can switch the head for the one from Takara's smokescreen

I'm considering doing it as well. Although, my only worry is that Takara's head is too big, or otherwise oddly proportioned. Or it doesn't transform right with the new head. In any case proving faulty, I'll hope Reprolabels does something about this head.
